what you gonna do with your Christmas money?

[mndtrp]

Gift cards went to:

Comforter
Bathroom mats
Socks
Slippers

Any guesses as to which of us did the majority of the choosing?

I like socks, though, so no complaints here.

My mother gave me $300!!! I am going to put it toward my trip to Europe this summer. (Ooh, I sound so posh!) I have a friend who lives in England, who I haven't seen since she moved there over a decade ago. We lost touch and just recently found each other again, and she has invited me to visit this summer. With airfare and the possibility of road trips that require hotel stays (she mentioned visiting Paris), I am trying to put together at least $2500.

MH your gonna love England Im guessing your going to the south-east if you are gonna go Paris. Have fun

I let myself buy some baby stuff with mine. ($100) I have my first grand baby due in April and she is not in the budget. (they will be living here at home with me)

For $60 I scored lots of clothes, pack & play, swing, rocking chair on Craig's List, then spent about $20 at various thrift shops around town on baby clothes. I used a $25 Target gift card to buy baby socks and the softest blanket EVER for her. (it has pink satin trim that says Thank Heaven for Little Girls)

I have about $20 left that I'm throwing into the bank today as I'm done baby-shopping and don't need anything myself.
